After leaving the Enlightenment Tower, Cheng Ling did not return to his residence. Since there are free usage times, he will continue to visit the Cultivation Tower and the Library Pavilion. Maybe he can gain something.
He first came to the Library Pavilion. Now, there is no shortage of martial arts and swordsmanship, and they are definitely higher-end than those in the academy. His purpose was to see if he had any good movement techniques. Although the Divine Thunder Movement Movement Technique was good, it could not keep up when he reached the Nascent Soul stage.
There are many secret books in the library, but unfortunately they are not of high grade. After searching for a long time, I did not find any interesting secret books. He was greatly disappointed. Could it be that the world-famous Famous Sword Academy had so little knowledge and could not even see a good body technique.
Scanning his eyes, he saw a young man in white looking for secret books in the library, so he walked up and asked: "Senior brother, I'm here, Cheng Ling, I have something to ask. I wonder if senior brother can help? "
"Are you Cheng Ling? The disciple who couldn't understand the sword skills after studying the stone pillars in the Enlightenment Tower for five hours?" The boy in white was full of surprise, as if he had discovered a new world.
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, the news spread so fast, it took only an hour for it to be disseminated. He touched his nose and said awkwardly: "That is indeed me!"
The young man in white was even more excited and asked: "Junior brother, how did you do it? You must know that even the top ten disciples can only comprehend for two hours at most. Oh, I forgot to introduce you, my name is Zhao Yang."
Cheng Ling was depressed, so naturally she wouldn't tell him the truth, so she changed the subject and said, "I don't know either. I just sat there in a daze for five hours. By the way, Senior Brother Zhao, are all the secret books in the library here?"
Zhao Yang said: "That's not true. This is only the first level. The opportunity for new disciples to obtain secrets for free is only valid on the first level. For higher levels, you need to contribute points."
Cheng Ling suddenly realized, no wonder, it turns out that free is not unlimited. Well, there's not much to see on this first floor. He shot around, seeing that he really couldn't choose any good movement skills or sword skills, but he didn't want to waste the free opportunity.
He hesitated in his heart, remembering that Fang Jie's physical body was so strong when he passed the second level, and the power of thunder and lightning could not shake it at all. He secretly thought that he might as well just use this body training technique to increase the strength and explosive power of his physical body.
He asked: "Brother, I wonder if there are any techniques for cultivating the physical body in the first level?"
Zhao Yang was stunned and came to the Kendo Academy to look for techniques to cultivate the physical body. This new disciple is really interesting. He said: "Our Kendo Academy basically focuses on swordsmanship, and there are very few techniques for cultivating the physical body. However, I happen to know that there is one technique, but it is incomplete."
Cheng Ling was startled and said helplessly: "If it's incomplete, let it be incomplete. Please give me some advice from senior brother."
Zhao Yang took Cheng Ling to a corner of the library, took out a broken secret book to him, and said, "This is it!"
Cheng Ling took it and took a look. It was not a complete secret book at all. It was only half a book at most. The title of the book was also very blurry. Only the word "forging" could be clearly seen. I smiled bitterly in my heart and thought to myself, just take this secret book. It seems that there are no other techniques for cultivating the physical body.
Putting the secret book away, he turned and left. The more Zhao Yang looked at him, the more curious he became. This new disciple was a bit interesting. He chose such a broken one out of a room full of secret books. Could it be that these skills and swordsmanship were all ignored? Could it be that he is a disciple of a large sect and has a strong inheritance?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He hurriedly followed Cheng Ling and left the library with him.
As soon as Cheng Ling left the library, he saw Zhao Yang following behind him and couldn't help but wonder: "Senior brother, what else can you give me?"
Zhao Yang's heart moved. It seems that this newcomer is a bit xenophobic. Don't rush. Take your time and get on well with him.

Yes, I'm not sure it will be beneficial in the future.
He said: "I don't dare. Brother Cheng's cultivation level is higher than mine. I should call you senior brother. You have just entered the academy, so I'm afraid you don't know many things. Junior brother, please introduce them to you!"
Cheng Ling nodded. It was difficult for him to refuse this point. Although he had read the disciple's manual thoroughly, he still needed someone to point out many things, otherwise the oolong incident in the Enlightenment Tower would not have happened.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Yang said: "Our Sword Academy has many disciples, including seven or eight hundred thousand outer disciples alone. However, there are also only a few top ones, that is, the top hundred outer disciples."
"Top 100? With hundreds of thousands of disciples, it's amazing to be included in the top 100." Cheng Ling said. Since someone is willing to tell a story, he should always cooperate. He only listens but does not tell. That is not too cool. He knew how to communicate with strangers, so Zhao Yang would not be bored.
Zhao Yang was indeed in high spirits, and changed the subject and said, "Yes, there is a comprehensive hall in the outer disciple area. The list of the top 100 is hung there. It can also be seen on the disciple token. Just search for it."
"I heard that the disciples of the four major families and the three major sects in the south are very powerful, and there should be quite a few among the top 100!" Cheng Ling continued to praise.
"That's natural, but things are different now. Decades ago, the outer sect master issued new regulations, which stipulated that families and sect disciples could not be recruited too many, and the recruitment of disciples without backgrounds was gradually increased."
"Oh? But Brother Zhao, why did I hear that most of the disciples included this time are from families and sects?"
"Brother Cheng doesn't know something. Our Famous Sword Academy recruits disciples into two types, the big move every three years, and the minor move once a year."
"What's the difference?"
"The big moves are more powerful, and you don't need to go through three levels in the sect. As long as you have good talent and qualifications, you will have a chance to be included. As for the small moves, they are just to appease the surrounding sects and family children. These people You need to pass the three levels of the famous sword to enter the academy."
"I see. So there are monks of all levels among the outer disciples?"
"That's natural. There are nearly a million disciples, and they may all have the same cultivation level. After all, the monks at the Golden Core stage are only a minority. The largest number are foundation building and Qi training disciples. They are often younger and have huge potential."
"How high is the golden elixir level of the outer disciple?"
"There are about 50,000 to 60,000 outer sect disciples in the Golden Core stage, of which nearly 30,000 are family and sect disciples. However, these people are not something to worry about. They are older, and the academy has regulations. If you enter before the age of forty, Without the inner sect, you can only leave the academy or become a deacon disciple."
"So among the top 100 disciples, there shouldn't be many disciples from big families and sects?"
"Yes, among the top 100 in the academy, none of the top ten have any background. The strongest sect disciple is the Sword Hero from the Sword Sect, ranked seventeen, and the others are ranked after thirty. Look at Brother Cheng. , obviously not from a big family or sect!"
Cheng Ling nodded. The control of the Famous Sword Academy was good. Unlike the Wuxiang Sword Sect, which was almost dominated by the children of the family, I thought the master of the outer academy had a long-term vision and put great thought into the stability of the academy. This point is quite different from what Liu Qingyan said.
He said: "Yes, I am just a casual cultivator!"
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "No wonder Brother Cheng doesn't know the taboos of the Enlightenment Tower. Fortunately, he has strong mental power, otherwise it would be really dangerous."
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and asked, "Are all the top 100 disciples the same?"
Zhao Yang said: "Of course not. As long as you feel strong enough, you can challenge them."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
challenge. As long as they are defeated, they can replace their ranking in the top 100. "
"However, there is an unwritten rule in the academy. Challenges require a price, which is contribution points. Generally, you need at least one thousand contribution points to initiate a challenge. If you win, you will get the opponent's contribution points. If you lose, naturally All money lost.”
"One thousand contribution points? Are these contribution points easy to earn?"
"It's easy to make money, but it's hard to make money even if it's not. The biggest headache for new disciples is how to earn their first contribution points. They usually rely on free opportunities to learn a sword skill and then turn it in. In exchange for it, you have to go to the Academy, and the rest is to break through the Sword Tower, and you will be rewarded with contribution points for every level you pass."
Cheng Ling secretly thought that there was no hope for the Tao Enlightenment Tower. He couldn't contribute the "Wood Phase Spirit Art" to others. That would be too funny. However, there was some hope for the Sword Tao Tower.
He asked: "What is the Kendo Tower? Is it easy to break into?"
Zhao Yang explained: "The Kendo Tower is located in the center of the outer gate area. The tower is divided into nine floors. If you pass the first floor, you can get one hundred contribution points, two hundred on the second floor, and four hundred on the third floor. So superimposed, the current highest It was Senior Brother Fu Qingsong who made it to the eighth floor and was ranked number one among the top 100 disciples."
Cheng Ling silently recited Fu Qingsong's name twice and then asked, "What is his cultivation level?"
"Senior Brother Fu has perfected the cultivation of Jindan, and he is only twenty-one years old. The elders of the outer dean are optimistic that he can become an inner disciple first and enter the inner courtyard."
"Are the top ten all those who have perfected their golden elixir cultivation?"
"Exactly, their cultivation levels are about the same, but their combat prowess is much different. Compared with Senior Brother Fu at the top of the list and Senior Brother Song Duan at the bottom, Senior Brother Fu can easily defeat Senior Brother Song."
Cheng Ling nodded. Of course, a monk's combat prowess and cultivation were very important. Others, such as martial arts, swordsmanship, and body skills, were also key factors. Fu Qingsong must be top-notch in all aspects.
The two of them were walking and chatting, and when they were in high spirits, a voice came: "Oh, isn't this Zhao Yang? Why, is the injury on his body healed?"
Zhao Yang's expression changed and he stopped. Cheng Ling looked up and saw three young men in front of him. One of them was wearing red. He was quite arrogant and had a look of disdain on his face.
Zhao Yang said in a low voice: "This is Zhang Shidao from the outer sect Iron Sword Club. He has some conflicts with me. Brother Cheng, please don't get involved. The Iron Sword Club is a second-rate organization among the outer sect disciples and is relatively powerful."
After saying that, he turned to Zhang Shidao and said: "Zhang Shidao, I will definitely avenge you last time. Don't be arrogant!" He looked fierce but internally, obviously lacking in confidence.
Zhang Shidao smiled coldly, looked at Cheng Ling and said, "Are you new here? I advise you to leave him as soon as possible. If you follow such trash, life in the outer sect will not be easy in the future!"
Cheng Ling said calmly: "I make friends, but it's not your turn to comment!"
Zhang Shidao cursed angrily and ignored him. He continued to face Zhao Yang and said, "You want to take revenge? That's okay. I will give you a chance today. Two thousand contribution points. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Zhao Yang's expression changed and he said angrily: "Two thousand contribution points, do you think I'm an idiot? You want to rob me again!"
"Stop talking nonsense, just do it if you dare! If you dare, just run away with your tail between your legs. Don't let me see you again within a hundred steps!"
Zhao Yang was so angry that he was really bullying someone too much. It’s just that he knows that in a fight, he is really no match. Last time, he was squeezed out by the opponent and lost a thousand contribution points.
Just as he was about to say a few words to escape, his shoulder was grabbed by a hand, and a faint voice came: "Two thousand contribution points, I will fight for him!"
